And if you can't, reduce your speed on the axis because your motor seem a little on the potato range ("Surprise") to not be able to keep up. If I remember motor, reducing the motor speed may help you with tork (but then you will need to decrease your axis speed... again). Also keep in mind drill bits are for drilling ("up/down") not to go side way.
If you cannot find router bits on the cheap, look for sheetrock bits. They make them for Dremels and the like. Other things you could do is have the depth be computer controlled and repeat the pattern over and over again, each time cutting a wee bit deeper. Fun fun!
You need to up the speed on the motor too. And the router bit. Drill bits has only cutting faces in the front. Router bits has cutting faces on all edges...
You can make your robot much better by: putting a big croshaped spike in the watermoleon stand that way it it cant move and use a lidar to dynamically addjust the drillbit distance from the watermelons surface. (you will also need a little clamp at the top to stop the melon from moving upwards)
Spring loaded bar with pressure sensor that moves ahead of the drill would work as well. Arguably quite a crude method but it should be cheap and fairly easy to make.
I wanna say the words of admiration and encouragement but idk what to say exactly lol, but i promise, seeing creative people do creative stuff- like you- with so much dedication and hardwork, is an inspiration to the folks like me, so, thank you and i wish you good luck for whatever tasks you undertake in the future :3
That came out pretty decent considering! I've been looking at lazy-susan bearings to make a very similar rig for photogrammetry - so I'm glad to see the approach worked for carving!
I think it might work better if you used a dremel or router to cut it. Also if it were to move slower with a higher bit speed and only make small cuts at a time with many passes moving deeper with each pass. And maybe tack the watermelon in place somehow.
This was a hoot! Love your style. As some mentioned below (above?) a up cutting router bit will work MUCH better. Look for a Rotozip bit at your local big box hardware store. You are probably fine with the motor you already have. This thing has potential!
Cheap distance sensor so the actuator can be automated, maybe a clamp for the melon top and then just do lots of light passes and your there! Can't wait to see this in some gallery for kids to play with drawing random things
**please** use and endmill instead of a drill bit. Drill bits aren’t meant to cut on the side. Other than that find a better way to hold the melon down and you’re golden
Ha, this is actually great stuff. I found your stuff while looking at music theory and it’s awesome that you also make micheal reeves type robot content too.
A drywall cutting bit at higher rpms, brushless motor/ESC and a slower rate of movement/progression, that should do it. The real great part of this is putting the robot together, nice work!!!👍
Interesting project! Stepper motors are your friend. With minor adjustments you should get much better results. You can grease the gears as well with PTFE lubricant or something similar.
Adding a router could make it less punchy, but it'd weigh a Ton so would need to up all the mechanics, maybe not worth it. You could add a depth sense mechanism and have the bot do several shallow runs while it auto adjusts the depth of the drill so the load is consistent. cool idea/video!
The suggestion is to replace the drilling machine with an engraving machine or a laser for engraving. You are no longer a slave to the keyboard, you are now a slave to three individual keys.
I had to deal with servos and gear-ratio too, but because it was a small device, in your case i don't know why you didn't use a more appropriate Stepper Motors like in CNC machines / 3D printers...
Actually this is a pretty solid concept, i think you did great for a first prototype. If the drill moved slower and at a higher RPM, i think the results might've been a bit better. Honestly I think it's impressive that you've made it that far with it at all.
I wonder if you were using a proper routing/contour bit or if you were literally just using a basic drill bit. That makes sense to me for why it was having so much trouble cutting sideways through that.
Just kibbitzing here: 1: I think you can download a plotting program. 2: How about using a touch wand to maintain the proper penetrating distance for the drill bit. This late you might not want to try these suggestions anyway.
You deliver excellent content to your audience. It's very interesting material. All of your effort put into creating this video is much appreciated. I'm truly grateful for your help!
How did it go from “coding a fluid simulation with my last 2 braincells” to “Building a Watermelon Carving Robot with my 200IQ big brain”? This isn’t the Gonkee I remember.
So this is what this man’s been doing for 3 months
And it's only 8 min!
swap the drill for a router and it’ll make a mess much more effectively.
Lovely exit line!
This. You were so close!

Buy an endmill, cutting edges on the bottom and on the flutes
In one year, his videos went from complex physics recreation with lots of math involved to this.
Yeah, the Michael Reeve effect strikes again.
cater to the majority....the majority who disliked school.
where you learn to read, write, count etc
To be fair building a literal robot was easier than making a physics engine
TH-cam demands it. Source: I'm a failed TH-camr.
He seems to be having fun, I doubt he'll need you
So great to see you paving new pathways with such great innovation. Absolutely beautiful self portrait👏👏👏

Isn’t LiDAR much better for more medium distances, I feel like a ultrasonic sensor might be a bit cheaper and more effective.
@@carrotylemons1190 or even an IR proximity sensor
or just an endstop switch would do
Spring loaded bar with pressure sensor that moves ahead of the drill would work as well. Arguably quite a crude method but it should be cheap and fairly easy to make.
Now imagine if this was strapped to someone's head. You could even record yourself on a cassette tape asking them if they want to play a game.
This took a dark turn really quickly!
@@oosmanbeekawoo You have a lack of appreciation for dark turns and therefore must experience one to truly appreciate life.

This man still doesn't know that he has invented a new kind of CNC machine.
wow the physics engine sure has gone far! you've got it working in multi axis 3D space! Impressive!
One of your bigger adjustments should be to use an endmill rather than a drill bit; a drill bit isn't suited for linear cutting motion, only vertical
This has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen
I love it
"Sculpteur de Melon" sounds like a budget French plastic surgeon
This video reminds me of a short, handsome, short phillipino (especially some of the lines)
Just found this TH-cam Account today! Amazing content, really funny and nerdy at the same time. Love it, keep it up!
That came out pretty decent considering!
I've been looking at lazy-susan bearings to make a very similar rig for photogrammetry - so I'm glad to see the approach worked for carving!
wow mans out here solving the real world problems

I was basically going to say the same, but then thought he's probably very aware why it's failing so badly
instead of a drill bit, use an endmill, it will cut laterally
This was a hoot! Love your style. As some mentioned below (above?) a up cutting router bit will work MUCH better. Look for a Rotozip bit at your local big box hardware store. You are probably fine with the motor you already have. This thing has potential!
I regularly use a RotoZip tile cutting bit for foam cutting - they would probably also work good on melons and other produce.
Cheap distance sensor so the actuator can be automated, maybe a clamp for the melon top and then just do lots of light passes and your there! Can't wait to see this in some gallery for kids to play with drawing random things
Use a milling but not a drill bit, and you will be able to cut sideways much easier!

gonkee pls make a nuclear bomb and share how you enriched the uranium-238 into uranium-235
Yes I agree, also please test the the warhead at these coordinates: 38.9N, 77.04W. I think that would be very funny.
@@prototypeinheritance515 Washington bouta get lit
@@anis6674 there's never a time to not party
Ah yes, the 'I didn't know a drill bit, and a mill bit were different' video. Always love it when I see it. I too learned the hard way.
So basically the pumpkin carving robot from stuff made here but watermelon instead
Ha, this is actually great stuff. I found your stuff while looking at music theory and it’s awesome that you also make micheal reeves type robot content too.
Painfully funny.
To actually carve a melon, might want to just build a bigger version of the Eggbot.
Very enjoyable, loved the humor!
LOVE THIS!!!! Excited for the next video!!
good shit man your channel's gonna get pretty popular keep at it
4:05, what kind of monster doesnt have his control key on the most left bottom side?
Video quality is very good
Honestly, if this isn't how every one of my projects goes I don't know what is. Great work! Very funny and interesting.
Somebody's been binging Michael Reeves😂
Yep, definitely need a carving bit.
A drywall cutting bit at higher rpms, brushless motor/ESC and a slower rate of movement/progression, that should do it. The real great part of this is putting the robot together, nice work!!!👍
I sense a missed Jack-o'-lantern carving opportunity
It’s hard to be a nerd (respectfully) while also being funny. Well done!
These videos are sick! I was so surprised you didn’t have 3 mil subs at least.
I laughed when u said “I took a 270 degree servo motor from my friends RC car”
Interesting project! Stepper motors are your friend. With minor adjustments you should get much better results. You can grease the gears as well with PTFE lubricant or something similar.
If she leaves you for another, there's always her mother.
Gonkee, can I please have my rotor plates back? I've been forcing Ming to spin himself on people's tables for days, he's got vertigo now.
no, but you can try his patented water-melon carver! Yeah! You serve watermelons right?
Adding a router could make it less punchy, but it'd weigh a Ton so would need to up all the mechanics, maybe not worth it. You could add a depth sense mechanism and have the bot do several shallow runs while it auto adjusts the depth of the drill so the load is consistent. cool idea/video!
You need to firmly attach the watermelon to your carving robot. Otherwise it’ll mess up on the second pass
this was so entertaining, great job bro, I'll watch your videos for the next 69 years of my life
Drill bits aren't designed to cut sideways. If you use an endmill, that thing would cut like butter :)
"Is she leaves your for another, there's always her moth...."
The suggestion is to replace the drilling machine with an engraving machine or a laser for engraving. You are no longer a slave to the keyboard, you are now a slave to three individual keys.
The first 30 seconds cured my depression
I had to deal with servos and gear-ratio too, but because it was a small device, in your case i don't know why you didn't use a more appropriate Stepper Motors like in CNC machines / 3D printers...
this is what you've been doing...
impressive!
internet is great, I didn’t expect to see laoganma utilized in an engineering video
Never seen this man until now, major Micheal Reeves vibes. Cool work! I like the background memes.
_"I believe it's called a knife"_
this production value is way better than your first vid.
What if you had the drill oscillate back and forth, so it’s kinda like a saw and makes it easier for the drill to draw the image
Glad I found this channel
That would have worked if you used an end mill rather than a drill bit.
Now that it is Halloween time, you should do this with a pumpkin.
Still waiting for another upload 😿
Actually this is a pretty solid concept, i think you did great for a first prototype. If the drill moved slower and at a higher RPM, i think the results might've been a bit better. Honestly I think it's impressive that you've made it that far with it at all.
200iq.... This is what my teachers called hubris.
Not bad. Needed a fluted cnc tool vs your drill bit.
woke up smoked weed, saw this, thought i smoked too much discovered im just seeing the genesis of genius
you know it's Pumpkin carving season right.
I wonder if you were using a proper routing/contour bit or if you were literally just using a basic drill bit. That makes sense to me for why it was having so much trouble cutting sideways through that.
an end mill instead of a drill, a couple of ball rollers and a spring (or some elastic bands) would make this actually perform
i love this guy
Just kibbitzing here:
1: I think you can download a plotting program.
2: How about using a touch wand to maintain the proper penetrating distance for the drill bit.
This late you might not want to try these suggestions anyway.
5:34 that mona lisa oh my god....
Using the chili oil to mark the feet positions was genius holy shit
mannnnnnnnnn the cilly crisp marking killed me
Using a servo for this seems like not the best choice😅
And when we needed him the most, he came back
Methinks the drill needs to go much faster and the servos need to go about half as fast
You deliver excellent content to your audience. It's very interesting material. All of your effort put into creating this video is much appreciated. I'm truly grateful for your help!
Drill bits are meant for holes, use and endmill to machine along a surface!!
You need a mill, not a drill and that 9000rpm motor should be faster
it runs on 24v
Use a milling/routing bit instead of drill bit(?) And a bit slow cutting bit .. that might help a lot!!
Lmao, love your sense of humour.
How did it go from “coding a fluid simulation with my last 2 braincells” to “Building a Watermelon Carving Robot with my 200IQ big brain”? This isn’t the Gonkee I remember.
I always ask me what to do else with this bearings on the table when i visit a chinese restaurant.
Gonkee is like stuff made here, but better
Gonkee is underrated, like how doesnt he have more subs
bro are you ok
cool robot tho
Chief you need an end mill, not a drill bit
This looks like something tony stark would make if he had no money. Nice one!
Bro went from having two braincells to having 200 iq
This man is a stable genius
What kind of 3d printer is he using?
Didn't someone make a similar machine that carves pumpkins?
"you know those spinny glass things on chinese tables in chinese restaurants?" It's called a _Lazy Suzan_ and even most American homes have them, lol.
Maybe by next Halloween V2 will be ready that also can handle pumpkins!?
This is next level wow. Your journey was the art.
King of sarcasm🤣🤣🤣
I love how this channel is already shaping up to be the next Michael Reeves but with more sanity left. Maybe the sanity slowly drains over time.
You can add a limite sw to sense the surface of the melon to adapte automatically to the shape of the melon
You need a 10k rpm motor and a wood cutting end mill with spiral up flutes.
I think you made a new torture device
